About Raccoon

Raccoons are native to North America but have successfully spread across urban and suburban areas worldwide due to their adaptability. They are known for their dexterous front paws and curious nature, which allows them to open latches and containers. A notable fact: raccoons have a highly developed sense of touch, with about four to five times more sensory receptors in their paws than most mammals.

Size Overview

A raccoon stands about 35 cm (14 inches) tall at the shoulder, roughly the height of a standard bowling pin. Their body length, from nose to tail tip, can reach 70–95 cm (28–37 inches), making them comparable in overall size to a small to medium-sized dog like a Beagle.
